So, I continue to plow through the myriad of house flipping/renovating/buying&selling shows (why… I don’t know)… and the same old stories come up again and again but there is something so clearly upfront in so many of the episodes that I think it deserves more comment.

Namely, parents seem to always want to move so their children can get into a “better” school district.

Now, I have no experience with this. When I was growing up there was just one school district.

There is a undertone of social disorder going on in these shows (besides the naked materialism and desire to boast).

It’s not always about bigotry - though I suspect there is an element of that.

There is something very very bad about the entire real estate industry that is designed to make people feel inadequate.
